BISHOP REESE CONBEMNS MOB LAW-BEFORE-EPISCOPAL COUNCIL-AT-THOMASVILLE
Makes Strong and Earnest Plea For Justice To Negro.
PROTESTED SOLEINLY AGAINST
ORGANIZATION KNOWN AS THE
KU KLUX KLAN
At the opening session on Wednesday
day of last week of the ninety-ninth
convention of the Protestant Episcopal
Diocee of Georgia at Thomasville,
the Rt. Rev. Frederick F. Rese,
bishop of Georgia, in his annual
address spoke very openly against the
region of mob law which has the state
in its grip, protested against such
secret organizations as the Ku Klux
Klan and pleaded for justice toward
the Negro.
The Daily Times Enterprise of Thomasville has the following to say about the protest against lawlessness: "Of the crime of mob violence the bishop spoke most feelingly and dwell especially upon the crimes of violence against the Negro. As a southerner and white man, he realized, the bishop said, the difficulties of the situation and the irritations that the situation is calculated to excite. But nothing, he feels, can justify mob violence or other grave charges. The race queues too complicated to be disposed of by my office and judgment of ignorance or prejudice. It is not only the future of the Negro which is at stake, but the future of peace and security of the country.
"The bishop protested, most earnestly and solemnly, against the organization of the secret society known as the Ku Klux Klan, and considers it nothing but fully to organize such a society at the present day."
"The bishop said, in conclusion: I think that Christian people and good citizens should utter their minds and express their convictions about matters of grave significance to social well-being. I think the church should bear its witness in such matters. It should condemn civil and civil customs. It should stand for law and order against secret and open violence. It should take its stand to protect society and to protect the weak. And I believe at this time of serious issues, it should proclaim its moral judgment against wrong and injustice. I therefore, ask this convention to adopt and to publish its condemnation of all mob violence; of all acts of injustice against the Negro and to declare its opinion that the organization of this secret society is more than a mistake. It is an unwarranted and dangerous folly."
FEDERAL OFFICIALS INVESTIGATE CONDITIONS
Arrest Men On Charges of Conspiracy To Hold Men in Peonage
Knottville, Tenn., Aurail 20th (Associated Negro Press)—Following an investigation of conditions said to have existed at a camp on the Lee highway near Tate Springs, Tenn., federal officials arrested four men on charges of "conspiracy" to hold men in peonage. The men arrested are R. P. Woods, superintendent, and three former employed by the Southern Construction Company, holding a large contract for work on the Lee highway, which extends from Virginia thru east Tennessee southward. The arrests were made by United States marshals and special agents, who conducted the investigation under direction of the United States district attorney.
The four men were taken before a federal commissioner, where they made temporary bond for preliminary hearing Friday morning. Their bonds were signed by W. C. Thinearson, chief engineer on the works, where until recently seventy-five men. Negroes and Mexicans have been employed. Frightful conditions of peonage are charged in the years past. One count rites that three Negroes ran away March 18 were recaptured, taken back, stripped of their clothing, laid across a tool chest in a tent occupied by one of the foremen and beaten with a pine board three feet long by six inches wide. One of the Negroes exhibited a broken wrist, which he said he sustained in trying to protect himself. The others also exhibited marks of violence.
Two other Negroes were beaten and wounded the same day after they had run away. Armed guards made them work during the day and patrolled the camp at night to prevent further encounters. More than fifteen other Negroes told of being mistreated and held in ponage.
The government says the defendants claim for Negroes owed them money advanced for rallroad fare and board. All the Negroes have been released by government man. Two Negroes, who it is claimed, attempted to escape and were beaten are not accounted for and may have been killed.
The investigation followed reports to federal officials from farmers and others living in the vicinity. Chief of the Poleer Crawford of Morriet-fown, summoned as a witness, is said to have arrested fleeing Negroes without normality of warrants simply on telephone requests from the camp.

SALVATION ARMY BE ORGANIZED FRIDAY NIGHT
Colored Advisory Board Sends Out Call
EVERYBODY SHOULD BE PRESENT FRIDAY NIGHT AT CULVER STREET SCHOOL
The advisory board of the Salvation Army, colored branch, has sent out a call for all to come to the Culver St. school at 8 o'clock, next Friday evening and hear the preliminary plans toward getting some Salvation Army labs to work in Savannah. The board wants all are interested in the fate of our people to come to this meeting and to bring their friends with them so that the campaign will progress smoothly and rapidly.
There is, not a well wisher of our people we do not realize the necessity of having trained workers in our midst. There is not a soul in the city that does not realize there are many cases of distress that others might never workers can handle. No one but what knows a Salaration Army lasse in our midst would relieve many a laudable case of distress that others might never discover. We all are inclined to permit others to look after the down trodden. Not so with the Salaration Army lasse. Not so will go into all quarters of the city carrying its carrying clothing to those needing it carrying clothing to those feeding it to the widows and orphans, at all times of the day and night.
The Salvation Army lassle can do the things because her uniform projects her. She can go through all quarters of the city without fear. She can help those in trouble when they want help and ask the cause of the trouble later. She can protect our girls and guide our young men. She can see that justice is done to those in trouble, give compel to the needy.
We have a fine opportunity to do much for our unfortunate, and propose to do it through the Salvation Army lassle. Never before have we been able to get the aid, counsel and assistance that is offered us this year—and never have we had as much need of this assistance. Never before have there been so many deserving cases of charity at our doors, and so little to do with. But it is hoped that the advisory board will place before the meeting next Friday night a plan that will take care of most of our cases in the way they should be cared for.
SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY APRIL 23,1921
Hampton, Va., April 20th—The Hampton Institute nine suffered defeat on Saturday, April 18, after a hard-fought contest with the Howard University team. Excetence relied throughout the game. Each team got at times what seemed to be good hits, but the fast work of the fielders prevented scoring. Both pitchers received excellent support: "Three up and three down" was the yell of each bunch of rooters until the last half of the eighth, when Campbell knocked a safety and Long smashed out a three-hitter, sending Campbell home and scoring the first run of the game.
The ninth inning found the visitors hitting everything. Sims knocked a three-bagger in left field and Joseph knocked a single through second, bringing Sims in for a tie score. Joseph was advanced to third, and Sewell's single sent him home.
Hampton failed to score in the last half and the game ended 2 to 1 with Howard on the long end.

Colored Memmber Sponsored Measure
BILL PROVIDES FOR A FORFITURE OF $25,000—$5,000 FOR THE FAMILY
Charleston, W. Virginia, April 18—Subjecting the county to a forfiture of $2,000 for the benefit of the family of the person franchised and unmaking participation in a mob a felony punishable with death, both houses of the West Virginia legislature have approved the most stringent anti-bitch bill thus far enacted by any of the states.
H. J. Capehart, the colored member of the House of Delegates from McDowell county, drew and sponsored the
ing the most determined opposition of democratic minority which sought to emulate it by proposing various amendments. As originally drawn, the bill provided for a forfeiture of $25,000 and made every county through which the mob might jointly and severally pass liable. To meet the objections of many of his party members and secure their support, Capheheart reduced the amount to $3,000 and limited the forfeiture to those counties whose citizens might aid and abet the lynchers.
In his fight to put the measure thru the member from McDowell had the table and active support of T. G. Nutter, Kanawa county's colored delegate, and the legislative committee of the West Virginia State League, composed of all classes of Negro citizens, of which T. Edward Hill of Keystone, is president, and J. C. Gilner, of Charleston, secretary. Others of the race all over the state assisted with jeritons, while members of the state administration and other influential whites, both men and women, contributed much to the passage of the bill. Other legislation of particular benefit or interest to the race has been enacted or is pending with every prospect of favorite action. Bills creating an industrial school for colored boys and industrial home for colored girls introduced by delegate Nutter.
will have become laws before this gets laid print, as is true of the measure establishing a bureau of Negro welfare and statistics. The proposal to segregate colored passengers on railroads, dislused by its democratic author under the deceptive title of "A bill to provide for the comfort of passengers" was before the committee just long enough to pass a motion indefinitely postponing its consideration.
The full crew bill, designed to dispense with the services of colored railway porters, met a similar fate.

DANCE HALLS TO BE CLOSED AT 12 O'O CLOCK
New Orders From Police Department
PERMITS NOT TO BE ISSUED FOR DANCERS UNTIL 2 O'CLOCK AS HERETOFORE
The hall guers and dance enthusiassts who have been accustomed to whirling away to the stratus of jazz and softer music usually rendered by orchestras until 2 a.m., have been given a jolt by the announcement this week that all dance halls must close down at 12 o'clock.
The new order, it is stated, was issued upon recommendation of the police department and has been in effect during the week. Heretofore, where permits were granted to persons giving balls until 2 o'clock, they will now only have until 12 o'clock, thereby cutting off two hours of dancing.
The Mas-onle Temple and Harris street hall will be directly effected, but it is not known just what effect the new orders will have on the clubs, that usually give dances at its ciph rooms or the private dances where there is no admission charged.
The enforcement of the new order will work a hardship on many of the frequenters of balls who usually do not reach the halls until 10 or 10:20 o'clock. In order that they may have equally as much time for dancing under the new orders, it will be necessary for all balls in the future to start at 8 o'clock. Several managers of the quenchment parks are of the opinion that the early closing of the halls will cause the people to visit the parks in larger numbers.
SCREAMS OF WOMAN ATTRACT PATROLMEN
New Orleans, La., April 26th (Associated Negro Press)—Hearing the screams of a woman as they were passing Poydras and Galvez streets early Sunday morning, Patrolmen Schroi and Rooney ran to the home of Mrs. Mimie Readon, 2129 Poydras, and found a Negro in the alley. Mrs Readon told them the Negro had broken into the house, and ran out when she screamed.
At the first preschool station the Instructor was found to be Charles Anderson, 35 years old, 2123 N. Mire street, who, according to the police, has served two years for burglary. Anderson was charged with breaking and entering in the night time. He is also wanted by the police, it was said, as a suspect in the burning of a house at 1810 St. Louis street.
EX-GOVERNOR PLEADS FOR JUS TICETONEGRO
Faith In The Negro Is Expressed
FIFTY-THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF HAMPTON INSTITUTE A BRILLIANT AFFAIR
Hampton, Va., April 20—That the Negro is entitled to equal and exact justice before the law and that the white man must accord him that justice or be false to all Anglo-Saxon traditions was the opinion expressed by the Hon. Thomas W. Bickett, former governor of North Carolina, in his address delivered at the closing session of the fifty-third anniversary of Hampton Institute over which Principal J. E. Gregg president. Governor Blickett said:
Though only fifty-three years old, Hampton Institute has achieved the unique and noble distinction of becoming at once a fountain and shrine. From it are constantly flowing streams that make waste places glad, and from every quarter of the continent weary pilgrims come to Hampton Institute for a new birth of courage, faith and love.
"The Negro who has to get an order from a white, man before he can buy a sack of meal or a side of meat is almost as much a slave as the man who had to get a permit before he could leave his master's land. The Negro as a race will not travel far-until his credit in store or in bank is as good as that of the white man.
"All during my administration the hand of executive clemency knew no color line. I opened the prison doors to more than four hundred Negroes. During my administration I preached against franchising and I fought franchising. I rushed troops to protect prisoners, leaders of mobs were indicted and convicted, and I personally walked into a mob and persuaded men to abandon their purpose.
"In this free country the message that cannot be proclaimed from the housepost ought not to be heard by a loyal Amerikan citizen. The Ku Klux Klan believes in the whisper and that is one of the reasons why, when the strong man from Texas tried to establish the Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina, I rose up and hit it with all my might and drove it from our border. Listen to your legers who proclaim their message from the pulpit and through the local press. When the whispering agitator comes around, say to him: 'Get the behind me, Satan.'
"Let me make a candid and solemn confession. The whites in the South, and in the North as well, do not always deal justly by the Negro. We sometimes do him wrong—and God knows I am ashamed of it—but violence will not hasten the day of your deliverance and hate will always binder. The God of your redemption will come, not in the mighty wind, not in the earthquakes, and not in fires but in a 'still, small voice' that will trouble the white man's conscience and drive sheep from his eyes, until he gives to your people the fullest measure of justice. The one safe path for the Negro is the path that leads straight the door to the leaden man's confidence. Some day every plan that is born of wisdom and justice will be allowed.
"While hate and wrath will lead to failure and destruction, love and faith will surely conquer. My message and my prayer to both races is this: Love one another, and all these things will be added unto you."
Era of Negro Prosperity
Dr. Talcott Williams of New York well-known publicist and former director of the Pultizer School of Journalism, Columbia University, paid a warm tribute to Governor Bickett's "great deliverance of truth, justice, and hope."
Dr. Williams. In his address on "Economic Independence through Industry," stated to the Hampton graduates that the economic conditions of Negroes are lighter than they have ever been before and that wages will probably not be reduced more than one-third. He referred to the so-called "dreary years" in the South, 1665-1855,

AUTO RACES TO
BE BIG AFFAIR
TUESDAY
STARTERS IS CLAYSIEST THAT HAS GATHERED HERE SINCE HISTORIC ROAD COURSE
Savannah's automobile racing fans will get their first taste of circular dirt track racing next Tuesday afternoon, Memorial Day, over the Tri-State Exposition track where a field of half a score of famous cars and drivers are scheduled to get away at 3:30.
The field of starters is undoubtedly the classiest that has gathered in Savannah for a speed contest since the days of the historic road course when the cream of American and European drivers annually competed for large purses here.
Officials of the Tri-State Exposition have spurned nothing, to gather a field of record holding cars and drivers for the race events and have hung up purses aggregating $4,000 which has proven the magnet to draw such famous cars as the two Fontenacars built by Louis Chevrolet the veteran speedway driver. One of the cars hold the world's 100 mile speedway record and the other holds the world's 100 mile dirt track record established at Columbus, O., by Gaston Chevrolet.
Competition for the Fontenacars are such cars as the Deenberg the type of car that holds the world's straightaway mile record at the rate of 150 miles per hour and the car which for the past three years has been the bitter rival of the Fontenacars. The foreign cars are not absent as both a Bezzel Flat have been entered, the former is the famous Biltzen Bezz shipped here to establish a mile record for the track.
Others are the Peerless and a couple of special built racing creations entered as specials.
Among the drivers are Sig Hangdahl, considered the world's circular track champion; Larry Stone, who holds a half a score of track records and who will pilot the powerful Bezz drewnaught on its record trial; Dave Koetza holder of the world's hour record; Jack Watters, O. T. Barr and several others who have made racing history. Reserved seats for the speed program are now on sale at the TSiState Exposition office in the Chamber of Commerce building and from the out-of-town reservations. Indications are that the immense amphitheater will not be able to accommodate the attendance.
Savannah Branch Assigned Quota of 1,000 Members.
CAMPAIGN CONDUCTED ON BASIS OF MILITARY ORGANIZATION WITH USUAL OFFICEIS.
The drive for 1,000 new members for the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will be launched in a great mass meeting at the new Dunbar Theatre on West Broad street to morrow. A program of vital racial topics will be discussed by competent speakers, and the meeting ought to be the most interesting race meeting held in this city for a long time.
The National Association is doing a magnificent work to advance the interest of the color people in the United States, to secure justice in all lines of endeavor, to break down discrimination, to eradicate prejudice, peonage and lynching, and to insure justice and protection to every man, regardless of race or color, and upon the basis of merit alone. The leaders of the National Association embrace many of the leading white and colored people of the United States and the organization is committed to the broad task of equal justice, industrial and political, to all men. It has already broken down the housing segregation laws which were so common in various southern cities not many years ago. Moorefield Story, one of most famous lawyers of the country, president of the association, represented the organization in this famous case before the Supreme Court of the United States; and the decision against segregation was unanimous.
This organization is making a vigorous fight on Ku Klux Klan, lynching, Jim Crowism, disfrachemeem and discriminations of every sort based on color and race. It was responsible for uncovering the abuses by the American Marines of the natives of Haiti, during th occupation of that island by Americans, during which time 3,000 Neo natives were murdered without cause by the American police. The institution is interested in the Arkansas riot cases, the Houston riot cases involving the 24th Infantry; and it was through the investigation of a charge of peonage in Jasper county. Ga. reported to the Department of Justice by this association, that the famous "Williams" Murder Farm" was discovered. Dr. W. G. Alexander is president of the local branch, and W. W. Murphis is secretary. The mass meeting at the Dunbar theatre tomorrow will begin at 3:30. There will be a discussion of the Ruffin case.

For a long time this class seem to have been an impossibility so far as progress was concerned, but for the past three years or more Mrs. Ayers, has quietly and patiently stuck to the class and today this class numbers twenty-three active members and thirty three enrolled.
Last month our class organized for the purpose of broadening our work, and that we might, prove to be a special asset to our Sunday school, our church and the city generally.
The first work of our class organization was to find out those who were sick or disabled in any way and get our Benevolent Committee busy. Sister Fannie Clark was reported very all, a donation of $3.50 was raised and Miss Elosie Williams, Miss Leteria Burke and others visited Sister Clark on last Tuesday evening gave her our donation, sung and prayed with her. While our teacher and other members of our class were engaged at the church in a sister's prayer meeting. The daughters, were especially interested in the conversion of a young woman who is visiting our city and has been a regular attendant of our class. Our prayers were answered and she rejoiced that same evening in the salvation of her soul.
On account of the revival we will not have another meeting until the ninth of May when the Young Mens' class will meet with us and furnish refreshments for the social hour. We extend a cordial invitation to young women to join our glass, and those who are visiting in the city will receive a hearty welcome from each member of our class. Visitors from other Sunday schools in the city are always welcome.

STEWART CHAPEL—Daytona. Fl.
The officers and members of Stewart Chapel M. D. church are rejoicing over their unusual record breaking success in community service and church work, under the excellent pastorate of the Rev. G. H. Lennon, ex-District Superintendent of the LaGrange District, who with his wife and two sons reached this charge on the 26 day of March 1920. Immediately on arrival the pastor set plans for necessary advances in the work of community service and church work in general. Coming as we have to the close of the first twelve months, Our Sunday school has about doubled its number. District Superintendent claims raised from $22.00 to $49.00 per quarter, Centenary and Missionary reports doubled, local conference claims paid in full pastor's salary advanced 25 per cent, and up to date we have placed in bank a building fund of two thousand three dollars twenty three cents, with which to build a new Stewart Memorial church, which is fittingly planned to the memory of the late Dr. W. H. Stewart, founder of the Stewart missionary donation for Africa.

TOMORROW'S SERMON AT THE
CHURCHES
Every Negro church in the United States and elsewhere will be appealing to God for "Justice To The Negro." Thousands of white church pulpills will reverollarate with the same supplication. Every minister is asked to take as his text "Justice To The Negro." It will be a day of national prayer for justice to every man of every race. It will be an appeal to this nation and all the world to save our civilization from the barbarism of liching, peonage, burning at the stake, Ku Kluxkism, disfranchisement, injustice in the courts and sundry oppressions all based on color and race.
1. 2. 3.
What will your church do about it?
Is your church, your club, your organization enough interest in the race, in yourselves and in your wives and children, and enough time, to give up your meeting hour to prayer and connection over the sin and suffering of race prejudice?
What does the text: "Justice To The Negro" mean to your congregation, your association? Can you lay aside for just one meeting, the queer of monies, and turn upon the prayerful consideration of the pitiful and pitiful lot of the Negro race in the United States?
Haven't you seen the suffering and the oppression, with your own eyes? Have you not witnessed the oppression of the children of your own breast? Haven't you seen your own flesh and aded prejudice, and yet feared to re-blood made the victim of oppression sent it because you knew you were the "spider-dog" in this million? Haven't you even seen the victim of mob violence and brushing, and while you shrieered, trembled and shrieked back from fear for your own, while the blood of your own veins ran cold, realised your own helplessness and that of your race, before the cruelty and hate of the oppressor?
Are you without hope? Have you lost faith in God? Hasn't the past given assurance that there is yet a chance to break down oppression, tear through discrimination and wipe out brutality and burning?
What will you do about it? Will you not strike a blow for, your own freedom?
The duty is upon the church of God in our midst to arouse the people to make the fight for freedom and justice, not with the sword, but with money and intelligence.
Will the church rise gallantly to its task?
JUSTICE TO THE NEGRO
Tomorrow the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People begins its national drive for 250,000 additional members. It already has 100,000 members enrolled in over 250 branches in as many cities scattered all over the United States. Already, this magnificent organization represents a tremendous force in the nation; and when its membership reaches the quarter million mark, it will represent a force which to reckon with will require a worthy foe to the cause of justice and right.
Savannah's Negro population of 40,000 is assigned the task of enrolling 1,000 new members in the great challenge to increase the membership and influence of this spiked instrumentality of the race. The number is entirely too low for such a city as Savannah, when Alhambra's quota is 10,000, with no larger group to draw from. Savannah's quota could well have been 10,000, for every Negro who would refuse membership should hang his head in shame because he is unworthy to be identified with the race.
What has the National Association done for the race? What has it done for the Savannah Negro? What has it done recently? Its competent secretary called upon President Harding the other day and asked him to do certain things for the Negro race. In his address before Congress a few days afterwards, President Harding called upon Congress to effect legislation looking toward the blitting out of "parabarric laynching" and urged the creation of a joint commission of white and Negro citizens to study race relationship for the purpose of handling the situation intelligently and according to the facts. This is direct benefits, direct results, will not this benefit Savannah Negroes?
Federal government's attention to case of peonage near the Williams farm in Jasper county, resulting in the uncovering of the Williams murder farm. This feat of the association must appeal to every Negro on earth. The National Association is asking the Republican party, the Department of Justice and President Harding to pardon the Negroes of the 24th Infantry sent to the penitentiary at Leavenworth for participation in the Houston riot. In this petition, the Association will represent the appeal of more than 100,000 or more Negroes for justice to these soldiers. Does this help Sayannah? Does it help the race?
The National Association is making war on Ku Klux Klan, everywhere and all the time. It is fighting every cause grouping out of this contemptible organization. Does this help the Siththani colored folks?
The National Association is fighting Jim-Crowlisn, discrimination in public places, parks, public buildings, etc. Does this concern Savannah Negroes? The National Association is fighting disfranchisement and peonage. Are Savannah Negroes interested in this? Does it concern our women and children. The Association is fighting for education, for justice in the courts of the land, for a full chance in the industry of this country, and for every right of every free citizen of the United States, without restriction or qualification on the basis of race. Does this fight interest Savannah colored people. Are our ministers in the cause? Are our professional men anxious about it? Are our business men enough interested to help in the drive.
Are the 40,000 Negroes here willing to strike a blow in behalf of, their own fraternity, and for the protection of their own homes and posterity? If they are interested, Savannah will not enroll 1,000 members in the coming drive, but will enroll many thousands. "Who would be free, himself must strike the first blow." What are you going to do about it? What are you going to do besides giving your own membership? Could you feel worthy of the respect of your household and your community if you did not help?
The campaign for membership will be waged on such broad and carefully planned lines that every man and woman in Chatham county will be reached by one or more of the canvassers. The organization of the drive is along the line of military organization; there are colonels, majors, captains, lieutenants, privates. They will meet you on the street. In the lodge room, in the club room, in the church. Give them your name and address, and the membership fee of one dollar, and without argument. There is no argument, against membership if you are a Negro.
Let's hasten the day when there will be no more lynching, disfranchisement, Ku Kluxkum, peonage discrimination, and all other sins of color prejudice will be done away. Let's fight our battles, not with the sword, but intelligently and with our money, through the orderly process of the law.
POLITICAL NEWS
Washington, D. C. April 20th (Associated Negro Press)—Race prejudice opened by the Wilson administration are healing slowly. The segregation signs in the Treasury were not pulled down until the lynx eyes of Secretary Melon spied them and used a perennial order that they be moved. Then came the petition against the appointment of a Negro as Register of the Treasury. Failure is the forecast for the petition. However, in this connection, Congressman Martin C. Ansorge of the 21st New York District, felt obliged to take steps to trace the origin of the petition and even so far as to write to the President's Secretary, George B. Christian, on the matter and also to write to Mrs. Virginia White Speel, Chairman of the National Woman's Republic Committee as to her personal knowledge of the persons backing the effort to keep a Negro from the management of the Register's office. Mr. Christian arised the congressman that he bring the matter before the President and Mrs. Speel denied all knowledge concerning the petition.

Another bit of "small business" was pailed off last Tuesday night when the Negro High School cadets were barred from the annual review of the cadet corps of the Washington High Schools. Superintendent Frank Ballow and assistant Superintendent Stephen L. Kramer are declared to be the responsible parties in this proceeding.

Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty has come out, flat foroked, for justice and fair play for all in the administration in his office. He made this known the other night in an address he delivered before the local Ohio State Society. He declared, among other things, "The Department of Justice must and shall be respected by every good, law-abiding, loyal American citizen and it shall be feared and its power avoided by every man-American citizen. A man must love his country or he must leave it."
The secret of the whereabouts of the official seal of the Confederacy is very likely to remain unsolved. James Jones, a Negro and the last link in the official chain, of the "Lost Cause," has been called to his Father and carried the secret of the seal with him. Jones was the body servant and trusted confidant of Jefferson Davis and is said to have been the only person living who could tell anything authenticate concerning the last official acts, but stood obdurate whenever the questions were brought to his nother. At the time of his death he was an employee in the Senate office building.
Indications point to the appointment of Brigadier-General Charles G. Dawes to handle the soldiers relief work of the administration. General Dawes enjoys the confidence and respect of the President and is favored for the place by the chief officials of the American Legion. It is pointed out in general circles that the Chicagoan is the logical appointee to put the government's position on the sol
There were 10,500 persons in the District of Columbia in 1920, ten years of age or over, who were classed as illiterate and were unable to write either in English or any other language, the census bureau announced last night. Of this number 8,053 were colored, 1728 were foreign born whites and 640 native whites. Percentage of illiteracy for the total population was 2.8, showing a decrease since 1920 when it was 4.9.
Percentage of illiteracy for the colored persons in the District decreased from 13.5 in 1910, to 8.6 per cent in 1920. For colored children ten to fifteen years of age the percentage is 0.5 and for those sixteen to twenty years of age gg is 1.7. For adult Negroes twenty-one years and over it is 10.7. Percentage of illiteracy for the native white population was 3 and for the foreign-born whites, 6.1.
The sub-committee of the Republican National Committee in its meeting here the other day again failed to make a full and definite report. The Associated Negro Press representative was present at the meeting in the National Committee room in the musey Building. There was not even a full attendance of the Committee, which Congressman Bison Skemp of Virginia is Chairman.
Interested persons on land, outside of the Committee, to guard the best interests of colored citizens were Henry Lincoln John on, National Committeeman from Georgia; National Committeeman Kuntz, who is backed by Walter L Cohen, of Louisiana, Perry W. Howard, of Mississippi; Robert R. Church, of Tennessee and Isaac Nutter of New Jersey. Congressman Sleep, stated to the Associated Negro Press representative that it is not the purpose or object to eliminate the Negroes from the Republican party, and that he believes by proper understanding a much larger vote can be obtained for the party in the South. Congressman Sleep is much concerned about the attitude of the colored voters of his own district who opposed him last fall and made his re-election for a time look very uncertain.
By the terms of the resolution adopted in Chicago, it is necessary for the committee to make its final report by July 7, before the entire committee. It can be stated authoritatively that the final report will contain a proposition calculated to be helpful to voters, or maintain the present organizations, rather than eliminate anyone. The alertness of colored leaders, the power of the Negro press and the state of mind of the colored citizens, and the effect on next year's elections, together with a new desire to be fair, are among the things that have caused the sub-committee to go very slowly.

Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson is in receipt of a copy of resolutions from a gathering of leading white republicans in Georgia, held last week, in which he is unanimously endorsed as national committeeman, duly elected and qualified, and a prayer to the National Committee to recognize him as the person through whom patronage favors are granted, as in other states, regardless of race or color. The endorsement came as a total surprise to Col. Johnson and the gathering was the largest held in Atlanta in years. In another statement one of the leading white citizens stated that developments in Georgia pounce cases prayed that not only was Johnson's last year Chicago testimony true, but that "it was as a zephyr compared to a whirlwind."

kirth Avenue, today made public a telegram, to President Harding thanking him in behalf of the colored people of the United States for his recommendations that Congress pass a federal anti-lynching law and establish a joint commission to study race relations.
The telegram which was signed by James Weldon Johnson is as follows:
April 13, 1921
"Honorable Whron G. Hargling"
President of the United States Washington, D. C.
"The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in behalf of fourteen million Negroes in the United States, thanks you for the paragraphs of your message to Congress in which you urge upon Congress that it wipe out the stain of barbaric lynching from the banners of this democracy, and in which you endorse the proposal made to you by this Association for a joint commission, of white and colored persons to make a thorough and impartial study of race relations in the United States, with particular reference to the causes of friction.
"These utterances from you as President of the United States will give heart to millions of colored American citizens who were rapidly losing hope in American democracy."
"The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is confident that the enactment of an adequate anti-lynching law and its fearless enforcement will do more than any other single thing to wipe out lynching atrocities.
"We are confident that the adjustment of race relations in the United States can be arrived at through understanding, through the recognition of the interdependence of the races and the maintenance of the equal rights of citizenship. Your action is a long step toward that adjustment."
NATIVES BURNS TRADING POSTS
Brussels, April 20th (Associated Negro Press)—The result of natives in Belgian Congo last month, during which fifty trading posts were burnt, was fermented by a native gesturing to have discovered a charm making its possessor invisible and inruinable, advises received today state.
The native sold the charms to credulous natives, whose faith in them was confirmed when troops, attempting to quiet the exultation, fired into the air.

ATTORNEY CAUSE DAILY
PAPER NUCH
PAPER MUCH WORKY
Chicago, Ill., April 20th (Associated Negro Press)—Edward H. Wright, the famed colored attorney of this city, is causing the local daily press a world of worry. It appears that Mr. Wright, as the chief legal expert of the city's traction plan, has drawn $30,000 in fees during the past year. The Tribune calls attention to the fact that this is very near to one third of the sum, $107,324 paid to the entire staff of experts on the city pay roll. The "World's Greatest Newspaper" calls Mr. Wright, "Negro attorney of ability," and Negro adviser in Mayor's Traction Plan." In the meantime Mr. Wright remains num and continues to draw his fees.
EX-GOVERNOR PLEADS FOR
JUSTICE TO NEGROES
(Continued from page 1)
When colored men worked for 50 cents a day and colored women worked for twelve hours a day, He stated that Negroes have earned more in the last decade than they had earned in the previous fifty years.
During the anniversary/celebration William Howard Taft, chairman of the Hampton Institute board of trustees, in his address on "The Discipline of Labor," referred to the growing idea of giving more and more men quality of opportunity. "I believe that legislation," said Mr. Taft, "may be more or less helpful in increasing the quality of opportunity, but the question is, have you the courage, the character, the spirit of self-sacrifice, and the forelight individually to improve that quality of opportunity?" Mr. Taft emphasized the value of men making sacrifice in order to win success, the intimate relation of intelligent labor and material independence, and the close relation of happiness to service for others.
The Hampton Institute alumni, who are engaged in raiding a fund of $30,000 to provide Hampton with a modern and well-equipped athletic field, which will cover six acres, accommodate 20,000 people, and serve the entire colored student bodies in the eastern half of the "lived States," attended a reunion luncheon and made additional pledges. The president of the Hampton Athletic Feld Association is Dr. Robert H. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute; the chairman of the executive committee is Charles H. Williams of Hampton Institute; and the treasurer is Don A. Davis of Hampton Institute.

WORKERS APPOINTED
Twenty-six short term agents have been appointed to work during the spring and summer. These workers are at present in the Jeanes work, and will begin work in the Agricultural Home Demonstration service on May 1st. These workers have been appointed to assist the farmers and farm women in every way possible in betterment of community life, home beautifying, and one important factor, in the conserving of foodstuff, by canning, drying, preserving, making jellies, and plicking.
Last year these twenty-six workers gave 634 demonstrations in canning and drying, and canned 222,497 quartes of fruits and vegetables, dried 6210 pounds of vegetables and 14,610 pounds of fruits.
From the report of last year and with the eleven regular home demonstration agents making a force of thirty-seven workers in the state blinding their efforts for one great cause, there proves now that the report for the women work for this year will greatly surpass that of 1920.

MEETING OF BEP
RESENTATIVES CALLED Dallas, Texas, April 20th (Associated Negro Press)—Special Harry Beck, State chairman of the blank.and tan faction of Texas in the late election, has called a meeting of representatives of, that faction for noon Saturday at city hall here, he announced
last Friday. Incidentally, it developed that considerable controversy has developed between the illly white and the black fections over G. O. P. patronage in Texas following the inauguration of President Harding, which is said to explain the delay in appointment of postmasters and other important federal officials in many Texas cities. The illly whites, it was learned, rely upon the official recognition accorded them at the Chicago convention when the black and tans were ruled out, and the illly whites accepted as the orthodox representatives of the party in Texas, will hold aloof from Beck's conferences Saturday. Beck's conferences will be followed by a meeting of the state black and tan executive committee, he said.

FIND WIFES FRIEND UNDER BED Marion, Ind., April 20th (Associated Negro Press)—When Agnes France, colored, told Monroe, her husband, to feed the chickens she did not know the chicken feed was under the bed, her husband testified in his suit for divorce here Wednesday. Had she known, she might not have been so thoughtful of the welfare of the chickens. Monroe believed.
It seems that when Monroe started under the bed for the chicken feed he found something else, a dusky friend of Mrs. France, who discarded the traditional weapon of his color and fired a shot into Monroe's leg. This, Monroe explained, was the reason he asked for a divorce decree. He received it.

Prof. E. A. Williams, supervising agent gave a wonderful talk on value of diversified farming and demonstrated the same. For a few minutes the meeting was opened for questions from the audience.
Miss Juanta Couvers, home demonstration agent for Chatham county, in quite a pleasing manner, lectured on, "Beautifying the Rural Home."

FARMERS INDUCED TO PLANT GLOU
PLANT CLOVER CROPS
During last fall with the assistance of agent S. H. Lee, Griffin, Ga., there were a number of farmers that were influenced to plant fall grain. Mr. Frank Parks and sons, who live six miles from South Griffin, sowed six bushels of Burr Clover, now they have a fine-perfect stand on a half acre.
There are other experiments that Mr. Parks is very proud off including the half acre of Abbronzzi also a half acre of Hardy Vetch. At present he is grazing his males a half hour each evening on the vetch.
Mr. E. H. Hampton of Culloden, Ga., has a half acre of alfalfa put in last fall, of which he is very proud. He plans to greatly increase his planting this year.
In the fall of 1019, Dr. B. M. Sherard of Griffin acting on the advice of the demonstration agent sowed one acre in vetch and the same of rye
Last spring the vetch reseded itself and so last fall he put on this same piece of land five pounds each of red, crimson, and white color together with three pounds of alfalfa and a half bushel of rye. He has grazed from two to four head of cattle on it since Christmas, except when it was too wet. This grazing has almost taken the place of meals and hulls entirely, and the quantity of his milk and the quality and color of his butter cannot be surpassed.
He plans to spend fifty dollars on clover seed this fall. Any farmer can, and every one ought to profit by them as Dr. Sherard has. On last Saturday I visited the farm of Mr. O. T. Morland at Rover, Ga. Last fall he planted $75.00 worth of clover seeds, seven or eight varieties, and two grasses. It would be a great inspiration for every farmer in a radius of ten miles to see this demonstration. Next fall he plans to plant a great deal more of these crops. Mr. Morland is a prominent white farmer of Rover, Ga.
WARE COUNTY FARM NEWS
The farmers and citizens for Ware county are manifesting a great deal of interest in preventing hog cholera this year, as, during last year a number of their valuable stock died, and in some cases the farmers have lost every hog and young pigs.
This country is rather fortunate in having two county agents that have had veterinary training. These two men are kept busy each day giving demonstrations in assisting the farmers in caring for their pigs.
Between the white and colored agent there is an excellent spirit of co-operation, each is always glad to assist the other. Aside from the hog cholera work, the county agent Mr. A. H. Hinesman is putting forth a special effort to have the farmers look after their wells. It has been found that one third of the sickness in south Georgia comes from bad drinking water. As a result, of the National Negro Health Week, which was observed during the first week in the month, Mr. Hinesman has gotten more than a dozen farmers to improve their wells and pumps, others are getting the spirit of better sanitary conditions
and improving same.
There is quite a rivalry between the different communities and clubs in getting the work ahead in the communities. Mr. Hineeman is putting forth efforts towards getting $100.00 to be given in prizes of three each to the communities making the best exhibit and progress this year.

CHATHAM COUNTY CLUB WORK
On Tuesday April 19, the Sackville Canning Club girls held their regular business meeting at the home of Miss Frances Johnson. The girls gave their county agent Miss Junita Convers excellent reports on their gardening and poultry work. At the meeting the girls selected a regular day
for their sewing work, which will be directed by Mrs. Maggie Royal assisted by the agent and held at the home of Mrs. Royal the third Wednesday in each month. At the close of the meeting, the girls passed the kitchen where they were given a demonstration by the agent in making butter scotch. The girls inspected the club garden of Frances Johnson which from all looks now, will prove a success for the canning season.
POULTRY REPORT

Mrs. F. Johnson has netted $2,500 from her eggs. The club workers are keeping account of the eggs used at home, and sold each day.
HOME DEMONSTRATION
WORK IN POLK COUNTY
A meeting was held in Polk County by Miss Love Mathis, home demonstration agent for that section on Saturday April 2. for the purpose of organizing a Farm Bureau, this meeting was attended by representative farmers and farm women from each community. All the plans and workings of the Farm Bureau was discussed and by a unanimous vote a Farm Bureau was organized.
With this bureau organized the agent feels as a organized body to work through there will be more interest manifested in gardening, raising pure bred stock on the farm, corn clubs and home economies in general. Other plans are to discuss different farm problems in producing and preserving more foodstuff and to help reduce the high cost of living, to develop skill that will increase the economic earning of the girls and women in the county and in every way improve the sanitary conditions of the homes.
Mr. Adams Reut, a demonstrator of the East Point Club gave an acre of land for a club garden. The members have planted tomatoes, corn beets, string beans, okra and potatoes. The money that is made from the vegetables will go towards building a community kitchen in that section. Several demonstrations have been given in caming asparagus by the agent, Mr. I. M. Hightower demonstrated to the club members the canning of asparagus that were grown in his club garden. Mr. John Voison a demonstrator at Rockmart, Ga., is busy building his sanitary toilet. One of the girls of the club at Seng, Ga., has sold nine pine needles baskets at twenty-five cents each, netting $225.

COMMON RIGHTS OF CITIZENS EXPRESSED BY SPEAKERS
Chicago, Ill., April 20th (Associated Negro Press)—A rather interesting news item appears in the Philadelphia Public Ledger referring to a meeting held there under the auspices of an inter-racial committee. Says the Ledger: "The speaker stressed the common rights of all citizens, without reference to race or color, to proper enjoyment of public utilities and to full opportunity to make the best use of God-given facilities.
"One of the speakers said: 'The Negro shrinks with the same delicacy as does the refined man of white skin from everything that savors of intrusion. Without conspicuity of tastes and viewpoints, without good equality.'
Raymond T. Bye, assistant professor of Economics in the Wharton School, traced the prevalent lack of understanding on equality. He showed that most white people, from childhood up, have had more contact with the uneducated type of colored unskilled laborer, such as house servants, than with people of culture and refined feeling. They consequently judge the whole race by that one type, instead of appreciating the existence of the same graduation in the colored as in the white race.
Among the guests of the committee were Lissing R. Rosewald, son of Julius Rosewald, of Sears, Rockham and Company, and J. H. Howell, secretary-treasurer of the American Relief Society. The Rev. Richard W. Hogue, executive secretary of the Church League for Democracy was also one of the speakers.
The intent of the meeting and the expressions of the speakers were indeed kindly. The vast majority of the colored people are more interested, however, in the practice of social ethics, legal justice and industrial fair play. At any rate it is rather interesting to see an interest expressed by an important group on any phase of the racial attitude.

REID-In sad but loving remembrance of my beloved husband Mr David J. Reid, who departed this life April 19th 1920.
The angels came and took my beloved husband it was very sad to sit by the bed-lide and see him breath the last breath. I love him but our Heavenly Father loves him best. My lost but Heaven's gain
Friends may think that the wound is healed, but little do they know.
Forget him. No I never will.
There is a space no one can fill.
His memory is as fresh today as the hour he passed away.
He went away just as he lived quietly, and peacefully, his passing into eternity was like a well worn book filled with beautiful thoughts, always kind, true and consoling in his dealings Sleep on my loved one and take your rest I hope to meet you bye and bye where there will be no more pain; dorror sorrow, but joy eternal.
GAREY—In loving memory of
Frank C. Garey who departed this
life April 19, 1920
He is gone but not forgotten,
Never shall his memory fade.
Loving thoughts will always linger
Around the grave where he is laid.
Forget him? No, we never will.
We loved him then, we love him still
His memory is as fresh today
As in the hour he passed away.

ROBINSON—In sad and loving remembrance of our dear one, Loulsa A. who departed this life eight years ago, April 23, 1913.
Though suffering, she breathed no murmur
For the comforter stood by her side
And whil-pered "Fear not I am with
thee; with me thou shall ever abide"
Over the rivers_the_pale_floatman hast-
ened
She heard the soft dip of the ear
Then from earth, and its sorrow he
hore her across to the beautiful

Prayers and tears were all in vain Happy angels came and hore her From this world sit and think of her Well often sit and think of her When we are all alone For memory is the only friend That grief can call its own. Out in the silent graveyard. Beneath the soul and dew Not even once forgotten In sorrow we think of you. A beautiful life is ended A dear one laid to rest Safe in the Arms of Jesus Safe on his gentle breast James Gillon mother.

SHEPPARD—In loving memory of my husband, Robert Sheppard who died April 25, 1919.
Two years ago you left us.

Fresh in our hearts his memory clings
Yet still our grief is sore.
Each passing year but nearer brings.
This day we will meet once more

MASONIC IDEALISM
Masoury is one of the most sublime and perfect institutions that ever was formed for the advancement of happiness and religion given to mankind creating in all its varieties universal benevolence and brotherly love. It holds out allurements so captivating as to inspire the brotherhood with emulation to deeds of glory such as must command throughout the world veneration and applause; and such as must entitle those who perform them to dignity and respect. It teaches us those useful, wise and instructive doctrines upon which alone true happiness is founded, and at the same time affords those easy paths by which we attain the rewards of virtue; it teaches us the duties which we owe to our neighbor, never to injure him in any situation, and to conduct ourselves with justice and impartiality; it bids us not to dirugle the mystery to the public; and it orders us to be true to our trust, to be above all meanness and dis-simulation, and in all our avocations to perform justly that which we ought to do.—"Masonic Sun."
These words were spoken 106 years ago, yet they come to us as the thought of the true Mason today. May we all live them in the deeds of our everyday life.
MASONIC DESTINY
Masonry has a soul as well as a body. The body is the outward part, law, ritual, ceremony, organization, administration; a variety of practical manifestations not to be undervalued. The soul—interior life, the vital spark and impulse, and by right and claim pre-eminence. More thought should be given to the study of spiritual characteristics that impart to Masonry its truest worthy and dignity; keeping in mind, "the letter kills, while the spirit alone gives life."
Our conviction is many times that, what we have heard, learned and seen, or what has been taught by our predecessors is unalterable, a veritable landmark—unchangeable it matters not how ridiculously unreasonable or opposed to the principles of Freemasonry it may be.
The principles of Masonry have been firmly planted in the hearts and souls of the brethren through the teachings of the ritual, although they differ in every jurl-diction, and we are impelled to practice them in our lives.
impetuously to practice them in our lives.
Attain the truth: to serve our fellows, our country, mankind—is the noblest destiny of man. All our future life this should be our object. If we desire to ascend to our destiny, scale the mountain peaks. If we are contented with less noble objects, remain stationary. There are others who will reach the heights of Masoung and her mission will be fulfilled—The

No farm is complete without a good milk cow to each plow which is the health of the family. Around any farm there is enough waste from the kitchen and surplus corn from the crib to feed a pig. This is beginning on a small scale. Not until our farmers learn the value of pasturing will they be successful in raising livestock. Green pasture for grazing purposes is as essential to the health of the livestock as a mixed diet is to the human body. Keep growing one, two, and three acre plots of rye, rape clover and soghum cane etc. Rotate your hogs. Dont forget to keep a good breed of hogs, of course the kind is more of an individuals choice, get the breed you like best, and stick to the single breed if you expect to make a success. There is as much money in livestock as there is in any thing on the farm. Open lands should be fenced so that it can be used for grazing purposes. A recent demonstration with registered pigs, and scrub pigs was held by the county agent in Chatham county that was very convincing as to the value of good stock. Five registered pigs and three scrub pigs of which a record was kept of each. Each pig was weighed at the start. The five regis termed pigs weighing an average of fifty pounds each, at eight weeks old. The scrub pigs averaged thirty pounds each at eight weeks old. The same feed and care was given each pig, and at the close of a seven month contest the registered pigs weighed an average 280 pounds each, a gain of more than a pound per day, while the scrub pigs only gained sixty-three pounds in the seven months, a difference of one hundred sixty seven pounds. In pork at ten cents it would mean a difference of $10.40 per pig. The registered pigs cost the boys $20.00 a piece through the county agent. Joe Feelings won $19.21 in prizes nearly enough to pay for his pig. Each boy won prizes in proportion. Joseph Frazier, one of the pig club boys has farrowed a litter of eight pigs. What if he should sell his pigs at eight weeks old, for $20.00 each a price in comparison to what he paid for his pigs? Dont you think he made a good investment? Joseph has won $11.60 in prizes, he has eight pigs valued at $20.00 each, and his old pig worth $60.00.
The county agent is working towards getting more pure-bred stock in
